If you’re a movie nerd then the answer is probably yes. In the newest issue of Toyfare (and I believe also mentioned on Slashfilm and The Totally Rad Show) a ridiculous amount of classic and cult movies came out in the year 1984. Take a look and see if you agree.

Ghostbusters

Beverly Hills Cop

Gremlins

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

The Karate Kid

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai

The Last Starfighter

The Muppets Take Manhattan

The Neverending Story

Nightmare on Elm Street

Police Academy

Red Dawn

Revenge of the Nerds

Sixteen Candles

Starman

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock

The Terminator

This is Spinal Tap

Toxic Avenger

All those plus the birth of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Macintosh and the Marvel Secret War, that’s tough to beat. If you have any memories of 1984 (and please share since I was -2 at the time) or if you think there’s a year that beats it let us know.
